EUROBASKET TROPHY TO VISIT UK

By on April 24, 2017

The FIBA EuroBasket trophy is to undertake a three-day tour of Britain from May 11-14.

It will vist Glasgow and Stirling on its opening day, then go to Manchester’s National Performance Centre on May 12, then move to Cardiff Archers’ new venue before ending up in London at the Playoff Finals at the 02 Arena.

The pan-European tour is designed to give each competing nation a chance to see the new Nikolai Semashko Trophy. .

“We are very honoured that FIBA have allowed Great Britain to bring the Nikolai Semashko Trophy to our shores,” Ian Curryer, Interim Chair of the British Basketball Federation, said.

“We have a promise to transform basketball in Britain together and it’s fantastic that we have worked with Basketball Scotland, Basketball Wales, Basketball England and the BBL to give fans the opportunity to view the trophy in all its glory.”
Meanwhile it has been confirmed that GB men will play Greece at London’s Copper Box in a friendly on 19 August.

It will be the team’s only home game in the summer 2017 with Joe Prunty’s side expected to then travel to Greece for a couple of games, then onto Tel Aviv to face Israel with their last action before EuroBasket begins a four-nation tourney in Warsaw against Poland, Israel and Hungary.

 

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
